Genshin Impact creator MiHoYo has hinted at a brand-new project built with Unreal Engine 5

• A clip shared on RedNote and widely discussed across English-speaking gaming communities reveals a fantasy setting
• Suggested promotional copy points toward an MMORPG or multiplayer-centric experience

MiHoYo is already a major player in the mobile gaming space. In other notable news—the Genshin Impact and Zenless Zone Zero studio has teased a completely new project developed using Unreal Engine 5!

The footage originally appeared on the Chinese social platform RedNote, where users from the ResetEra forum shared easily accessible versions of the video. It depicts an expansive, swampy terrain with mysterious dark weather patterns looming overhead. In the distance, you can spot horsemen riding across the landscape and a dragon soaring through the sky.

The standout feature is undoubtedly the lush, high-quality 3D visuals—a hallmark of Unreal Engine 5 technology. Beyond these graphical details, however, information remains scarce. We currently lack a title for this project or any confirmed connection to MiHoYo’s existing franchises.

Exploring the less wild side of fantasy

Fans have managed to uncover an image containing official promotional text. After some translation adjustments, it reads: "Step into a vast fantasy realm. Ancient secrets, monstrous beasts, legendary heroes... Choose your path and connect with others... Restore order to chaos, break corrupt pacts, and confront the will of impermanence. Your journey to reveal the truth becomes your heroic tale."

This suggests an action-packed fantasy game is in development. The mention of meeting peers hints at multiplayer functionality, potentially signaling MiHoYo’s entry into the MMORPG genre. Regardless of the final format, we anticipate official English-language confirmation of this upcoming release soon.
